Keyboard Entry - Ryan McCarron


Keyboard entry refers to a piece of information fed manually into the computer system by pressing down keys. On a common computer pressing down one key will display one character on the screen. Typing out a word document is a form of keyboard entry. However Concept keyboards have a button that provides an action, for example in a fast food
restaurant one key would add chips to the order and another a burger so its saves time instead of writing out the order by pressing down multiple keys.
